1. General

Thank you for purchasing an Xpelair Xcell Wholehouse heat recovery unit. We have paid a
great deal of attention to the design of this unit and have only used high quality,
recyclable materials in its manufacture which is powered by energy efficient EC/DC
motors.
This system is designed to run 24 hours a day.
The Xcell unit is the centre of a balanced supply and extract ventilation system. Other
products available from Xpelair include, flexible, flat and slim ductwork, and a 3-speed
switch.

In certain circumstances it is possible to connect a fan-less kitchen cooker hood into the
system.

This guide is intended as a reference manual for the fitter, so that he can install and
correctly maintain the unit. Please read this booklet thoroughly before installing the unit.

In the unlikely event that you have to contact our offices please quote the type of unit,
order number, and date of manufacture.

2 Installation

View - looking at the top of the unit

The Xcell unit must be placed in a frost-free space.
Close to the unit there must be a 220/240 Volt fused spur (with earth), a suitable
connection for the condensate drain and sufficient space to connect the duct runs to the
heat recovery unit.

If the unit is to be fixed to a wall/partition the unit must be installed using the hanging
bracket provided. The wall should be structurally rated to accept a weight of 200Kg per

square meter.
The unit must be installed horizontally (with the spigots at the top). A spirit level should
be used to make sure that it is straight.

Enough space should be left to allow a significant slope for the condensate drain to

ensure correct evacuation of the water.
A minimum space of 800 mm is needed at the front of the unit to open the access door and
change the filters.

Connect power supply after assembling the ducting!

2.1 Regulations

Where applicable installation of the unit must comply with all local regulations including,

building, electrical and sewerage connections.
